Written By Guest User

Fernandez Bjork explains how a social worker, an adoptive family, and serving the country instilled in him a passion to serve

PHOENIX (STN) – Moving from foster home to foster home and suffering significant abuse as a child wasn’t easy on Fernandez Bjork, but it didn’t discourage him either.

This past month, the Director of Evaluation & Impact at UMOM sat down with the STN team to trace the journey that took him from a rough childhood, through the adoption process and landed him a job jumping out of planes as an Airborne Infantryman.

He also talks about his past experiences, the parents who adopted him, and one special social worker who inspired him to make a career out of always helping those who need it.
